I think that's because they are getting their first shot at signing up for organized recreation and the parents are eager to get them enrolled and out socializing with other children. I think that developing their skills and physical abilities and keeping them fit starts at an early age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever does not have a good father should procure one. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63666]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever does not have a good father should procure one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15852]]></link><description><![CDATA[The absolute fundamental aim is to make money out of satisfying customers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beyond the emotionalism and the obvious sense of relief on all sides, I think that there is a recognition that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36236]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beyond the emotionalism and the obvious sense of relief on all sides, I think that there is a recognition that reality may intrude, that perhaps the steps ahead and the days ahead are going to be much more difficult than one expects.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63583]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to disciplineourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21829]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to disciplineourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By selling, you're making an ethical statement.

Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597]]></link><description><![CDATA[We will have no other master but our caprice -- that is to say, our evil self will have no God, and the foundation of our nature is seditious, impious, refractory, opposed to and contemptuous of all that tries to rule it, and therefore contrary to order, ungovernable and negative. It is this foundation which Christianity calls the natural man. But the savage which is within us, and constitutes the primitive stuff of us, must be disciplined and civilized in order to produce a man. And the man must be patiently cultivated to produce a wise man; and the wise man must be tested and tried if he is to become righteous, and the righteous man must have substituted the will of God for his individual will, if he is to become a saint.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prithee, friend, Pour out the pack of matter to mine ear,  The good and the bad together: he's friends ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prithee, friend, Pour out the pack of matter to mine ear,  The good and the bad together: he's friends with Caesar,   In state of health, thou say'st, and thou say'st, free.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. -Colette. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14792]]></link><description><![CDATA[You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm. -Colette.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Evil communication corrupts good manners.
